*photo from Amazon What is wrong with this picture?  Would you read a book on a handheld device?  Today the iPad was introduced and its main purpose is to compete with the Kindle.  I scratch my head at these gadgets and the concepts behind them - reading novels electronically.  I get the electronic part, and the gadget part, but I dont get the 350 page novel part. ...
